Hello,
If you are having herpes is better if you take acyclovir as soon as 24 hours.
You can get shingles vaccine at a moment when you are without symptoms.
If you get a chickenpox reaction to the vaccine you don't have the risk to transmit it to others.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
